Please see the important message below from my good friend Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights, about his upcoming trip to Des Moines this Wednesday! Dudley will be in town holding a press conference discussing the US Senate race between Joni Ernst and Bruce Braley that has garnered so much national attention. Please make some time to come to this event – details below! For Freedom,

As last weekend’s “Iowa Poll” indicates, the race to see who will be Iowa’s next United States Senator is going to come down to the wire as this race is locked in a virtual dead heat with less than 1% separating the candidates from each other. As one Iowa political commentator told us recently, “This is one of the closest races I’ve ever seen…It’s simply too close to call.” That’s

Imagine getting a call in the middle of the night from your 27 year old daughter, who tearfully told you that she’d mistakenly carried her concealed firearm into Illinois as she traveled with her children to go visit a friend, and had been arrested for it!

“Since our recent email regarding Senate GOP primary candidate Mark Jacobs’ refusal to answer the Iowa Gun Owners candidate survey questionnaire, we’ve been flooded with calls, emails, and Facebook messages from gun owners wanting to know about other races. If you live in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District or have friends in this district – this email is for you. This GOP primary is a very crowded field with 6 candidates

“Is Iowa Gun Owners affiliated with the National Association for Gun Rights…yeah, we’ve discussed this and we’re not filling out this candidate survey…” …so said Brian Dumas, campaign manager for Mark Jacobs when I stood in his office just yesterday afternoon in West Des Moines asking whether or not Jacobs would be surveying. You read that right, Mark Jacobs is REFUSING to tell you and me where he stands on

For several years, Iowa Gun Owners’ members have been pushing to repeal the Iowa permit to purchase law on the grounds that having it in place is unconstitutional.

This week the Governor of Florida is being asked to sign HB-1355 into law. HB-1355, a reaction to what happened last year in Connecticut, is similar to legislation proposed in Iowa this year and is something that we may be dealing with again next year.
